Z51 option?
Can anyone tell me what this option on a 2001 includes? I know about the
wider and thicker sway bars, is there anything else? My searches have not turned up any help. Thanks, Mike |

There is an added cooler but I'm not sure if it's for the auto, power steering, or engine oil, the C6 Z51 option has all three. Dad |

In the C5 and C6, how about the subjective (meaning passenger seat-of-the-pants) ride experience for cars with performance suspension? If you can, compare to selective ride settings, and/or to Z51 v non-Z51 C4. By that I mean, my gf could rarely tell without peeking which setting I was using (sport,touring, performance) in the '93, but when we borrowed a Z51 '95 coupe for a caravan, she found it "teeth-rattling" (although, to be fair, the '95 also had C5 rims and runflats). -- Angelo |

Add runflats to that and I wouldn't want to drive the hog. Dad |

Z51 option?
A good friend just bought a base coupe with the Z51 addition from Maxi
Price. A wise purchase to me, no HUD, heated seats, yada yada. The Z51 also has the drilled rotors. According to his car.

Pay attention boy, he was asking about a 2001 and they have no drilled rotors. Myself I think they suck, would much rather have slotted.
